Data source for trail food

One option would be to build you own. I know that in terms of nutrition databases for common foods, you should try looking things up via MyFitnessPal, which is an online service/mobile app which contains the largest (as far as I know) database of food nutrition info. If you have the app, you can scan the barcode on the product and it'll pull up the nutrition info. You can also search via their website. Their product is geared toward weight loss, but the database is vast, so it could help in building a spreadsheet of your favorite trail foods.

A friend and I made a spreadsheet that aims to give this information, starting with calories/gram and calories/ounce.

This might be what you're looking for. It's the USDA's National Nutrient Database. Very informative.

Calorie King has all the data too.

Enter the food of your choice in the Search Box, pick your version, pick your portion.

"Calorie King has all the data too."

This looks like a pretty good tool to me. I just ran a few known(by me) items thru its search function, and the nutrition info was pretty much spot on.

Thanks, Greg.

Thanks folks for the great sources of info!
